MODERN CLASSIC BRAKE CHECK (1990s ONWARDS)
Have you noticed pulling, squeaking, shuddering or inadequate functioning when applying the brakes? Brakes are fundamental to a safe and enjoyable driving experience and annual checks are essential to allow you to stop quickly to avoid collisions and road accidents.
WHAT DOES A BRAKE CHECK INVOLVE?
Our team utilise our private 1.5-mile-long driveway to test the performance of your braking system in all scenarios. This allows them to investigate potential component failure. They will then investigate each component individually, considering the condition of things like brake pads, calliper movement, brake hoses and braking sensors.
Once any issues are identified, they will utilise high-calibre genuine replacement components to minimise stopping distance, improve responsiveness, offer better economy, and offer a longer lifespan.
WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER A BRAKE CHECK?
A Brake Check is much like a vehicle health check and allows us to inspect your vehicle, giving you complete insight into our findings. A brake check will enable us to identify any issues or fading components, make replacements and restore the usability of your modern classic Mercedes.
This will improve the economy, safety, and performance of your vehicle, while new genuine components will offer longevity so you can focus on enjoying your modern classic Mercedes.
